If A, B, and C are the vertices of a triangle, find AB + BC + CA.

Mathematics

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When drawing a triangle, note that the vectors can be drawn either in a clockwise or anticlockwise direction. For a triangle with vertices A, B and C, te vectors are AB, BC and CA

In vector notation CA = - AC (length CA is equal to AC but acting in opposite direction to AC)

and AB+BC = AC

To evaluate AB + BC + CA, we will substitute the vector expression above into the given expression and simplify as shown;

= (AB + BC) + CA

= AC + (-AC)

open the parenthesis

= AC-AC

= 0

<em>Hence the sum of the vector expression AB + BC + CA is a zero vector</em>

Answer:

4.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply trigonometric ratios to find the answer.

Firstly, we need to find the measure of angle theta. In order to do this, we will use triangle BAD.

From angle theta, the trigonometric ratio sine can be used:

sinθ = $\frac{4.1}{5.3}$

After we find the value, we take the inverse sine of it and the result is approximately 50.7 degrees.

Now, knowing that angles BAD and CAD are the same, we can solve for CD using trigonometric ratio sine.

sin50.7 = opposite/hypotenuse

sin50.7 = CD/5.5

sin50.7 * 5.5 = CD

4.3 ≈ CD

Javon spent %687 on pokemon cards. Energy cards cost $6 and dragon cards cost $5. If he bought a total of 127 packs then how man

pshichka [43]

Answer:

Javon purchase Energy cards = 52

Javon purchase Dragon cards = 75

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - Javon spent $687 on pokemon cards. Energy cards cost $6

and dragon cards cost $5.

To find - If he bought a total of 127 packs then how many of each did he buy ?

Proof -

Let Javon purchase Energy cards = x

Javon purchase Dragon cards = y

Now,

Given that he bought a total of 127 packs

⇒x + y = 127

Also,

Cost for 1 Energy card = $6

⇒Cost of x Energy cards = $ 6x

And

Cost of 1 Dragon card = $5

⇒Cost of y Dragon card = $ 5y

Now,

Given that Javon spent $687 on pokemon cards.

⇒6x + 5y = 687

∴ we get

x + y = 127 ..................(1)

6x + 5y = 687 .................(2)

Multiply by 6 in equation (1) , we get

6(x + y) = 6(127)

⇒6x + 6y = 762 .................(3)

Now,

Subtract equation (2) from equation (1) , we get

6x + 6y - (6x + 5y )= 762 - 687

⇒6x + 6y - 6x - 5y = 75

⇒y = 75

Now,

Put the value of y in equation (1), we get

x + 75 = 127

⇒x = 127 - 75

⇒x = 52

∴ we get

Javon purchase Energy cards = x = 52

Javon purchase Dragon cards = y = 75

What is the equation of the line shown in the graph?

postnew [5]

The slope-intercept form:

$y=mx+b$

m - slope

b - y-intercept

The formula of a slope:

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We have the points (-3, 1) and (2, -4). Substitute:

$m=\dfrac{-4-1}{2-(-3)}=\dfrac{-5}{5}=-1$

Therefore we have the equation of a line

$y=-1x+b\to y=-x+b$

Put the coordinates of the point (-3, 1) to the equation:

$1=-(-3)+b$

$1=3+b$ <em>subtract 3 from both sides</em>

$-2=b\to b=-2$

<h3>Answer: y = -x - 2</h3>
